Title: Info on Green Diamond Resource Company Recreation Area
Post by: IslandStorm62 on June 30, 2018, 08:02:37 AM: Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone out here every hunt the Green Diamond Resource Companies Properties. First of, I have only ever hunted public lands, and am not keen on having to pay for access to hunting areas. That being said, I am very curious to know if the cost is worth the access. My thought is that with the restricted access to their working forests, it could be worth it. They only provide an access pass for one vehicle and the cost is $300. You can pay for an additional vehicle or for ORV.

On a second note (probably should post this separately), anyone interested in partnering up for an annual pass; sharing the costs and hunting together. The difficulty is that only one vehicle can have the sticker unless we pay for the extra vehicle. I live in the Lacey Area.

If you want a buddy to hunt with you he'll have to buy his own vehicle pass, even if he is riding with you. They enforce this pretty tightly, I've seen guys get booted for having buddies in their truck that didn't have a pass. The only guy who did have a pass lost his privileges for violating the rules.

There is a fair amount of Green Diamond land that is open access because the roads that lead through go to state land as well.
